Skateboarding and Marijuana?

[GrayCellGreen]

I'm a daily smoker and have been for some years now, but the amounts that I smoke is relatively small. I'll switch between my bong, joints and a cartridge. If I'm smoking out of a bong, I'll smoke around 2 small bowls a day. If I'm feeling a joint, I'll maybe have 1 a day. With the cartridge, I'll take a few puffs every few hours or so.

When it comes to smoking and skating, I find that it calms my nerves and loosens up my body up before a skate session. I'll normally roll up to my local and smoke like half a joint or take a handful of rips of a cartridge (depending on if there are children around) before I go into the park. Although I enjoy smoking before a sesh, it's not a deal breaker for me. Some days I'll show up to the park and skate around for an hour or so, take a little smoke break and then get back to it. Other days I won't smoke before or during the sesh.

I'm pretty fortunate that I have never dealt with the anxiety that a lot of people have with weed. The only thing weed related that gives me anxiety and full on panic attacks is edibles. Tried them a few times but have always had bad experiences. The one thing I still can't wrap my mind around is how people slam beers and then skate. Even after a single beer, my balance on a board is completely off. Not sure how the hellriders do it but more power to them.

Recently read an old Grosso interview where he said the first time he smoked weed was with Neil Blender and Alan Losi, all I could think was dream blunt rotation. Also like the glorification of drug use by skateboarding or whatever

   I feel the glorification of 'drugs' would be eventually curbed if they were legalized.

I need a scan of this, I don't smoke weed anymore but that definitely sounds like such a dream blunt rotation as well.

I ask simply because I am curious and mean no disrespect, do you ever feel it is an issue that you smoke every day? Like are you basically always "high" or is there a "buzzed" area kinda like having 2-3 beers where you aren't really "stoned" ( i've never smoked weed so i honestly don't know)? How would you feel if you went a few days without smoking?

to me its like coffee, it helps enhance things for a bit, and like coffee I can go not blaze up and feel just fine (maybe a little more irritable tho)

last night i smoked a bunch of very heavy indica before cruising around the neighborhood. it wasn't nearly as much of a hinderance as i thought it would be, in fact i've never been able to feel the pavement more clearly. it felt as if i was dragging my bare fingers across the ground.

Daily smoker here too.
If you're doing it frequently enough you build a bit of a tolerance and simply won't feel as high as you would were you to take a few days off and have a hit. I'd estimate a hit from a bong/vape will give me roughly around a 2 - 3 hour high.

Going without it isn't all that difficult IF you have something to distract you, you might get a bit of insomnia and fucked up dreams the first week or two, but it isn't all that physically addicting.
